Style Q&A - Sean Avery

My teammates totally accept my interest in fashion, and are slowly starting to ask me when nobody is looking what they could do to improve their look.

The first thing I tell all of them is that their clothes don’t fit and are too baggy. A baggy black suit with a dress shirt that is too big looks like you sell carpets; a simple slim black suit with a fitted shirt makes you look like a man with class.

Hey Sean, what are the classic items in your closet that you’ve had for five years or more?

The classic items that I have owned for five or more years are Prada suits that I bought early in my career. I cannot preach enough that quality is worth every penny. I think those suits look better now than they did five years ago. The key is not to dry clean them until it’s a must. Wear them and feel them but always have a clean dress shirt.

What should a guy’s daily grooming ritual consist of?

You want to be a man? Wash and condition your hair, scrub your feet and a**, put on skin lotion, deodorant, and splash your cheeks with Old Spice. Then proceed to take on the world!
